Bhandari said, "We want to ask Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, why did you remain silent when Shahid Afridi called you his idol?

“BJP just drags Congress into everything”: Udit Raj

He said, "... The Indian and Pakistani societies are somewhat alike. It is his personal choice that he went to Pakistan. He is an intellectual and puts forward his points on various issues from time to time. BJP itself doesn't do anything and just drags Congress into everything. Sam Pitroda doesn't always necessarily put forward Congress' view. When they talk about Vasudaiva Kutumbakam, do they exclude Pakistan? Modo Ji went to Pakistan uninvited. Dragging Congress into controversies unnecessarily because they are incapable of doing anything..."

Speaking to ANI, KT Rama Rao said, "Stealing MLAs is a bigger crime than vote theft, and it is being committed by the Congress in Telangana. Rahul Gandhi has stolen 10 MLAs who won from the BRS... He should be ashamed. He keeps the Constitution with him, speaks grandly, and comments frequently on vote theft. We want to ask Rahul Gandhi what has happened to your justice system. You yourself stated in your 'Nyay Patra' that any MLA defection will result in automatic disqualification. Why are you silent on this issue today?.. You should explain whether all this happened under your direction or not. For abetting this crime, even Rahul Gandhi should be booked."
